Summary
Coagulopathy in trauma increases mortality and morbidity. Early administration of tranexamic
acid (TXA) seems to improve survival and outcome. Thus this study evaluates the
administration of TXA on scene by the emergency medical services (EMS) or by the crew of a
rescue helicopter in multiple trauma patients or isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Coagulopathy will be assessed by standard laboratory tests as well as thromboelastometry.
Phase:
